Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: The Utopian Projects

'Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: The Utopian Projects' offers an insightful overview of the artists’ visionary installations and architectural models created between 1985 and the present. Featuring over twenty works — both realized and conceptual — the book explores themes of freedom, memory, and the complexities of utopian ideals within the context of Soviet and post‑Soviet life. Richly illustrated with color images, it showcases Kabakovs' unique blend of personal narrative and collective history, inviting readers into surreal, poetic worlds that reflect on human aspiration and limitation. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at The Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C. from 7 September 2017 till 29 April 2018.
